We have hordes of turkeys all the time here in Mashpee..crossing route 139 by the dozens...
I attempted to capture some but they cried afoul, and I was charged with a hate crime..oh well.
I recently joined PETA..People Eating Tasty Animals.

Turkeys will be $.69 a pound before Thanksgiving..

I was thinking one could jump on one from behind with a burlap sack, but they're pretty fast and jumpy for big birds. Plus, they can kick like the dickens. Better to find them along the power lines and hunt them properly, in season, calls and all.
Most folks I know who have tried local wild turkey say its quite gamy, but that's so subjective.
I smoked a turkey for T-Day once... took about 6 or 7 hours. That was all wrong. Deep fried isn't half bad, but a T-Day bird should really be baked.
Thanks for the cool photos, they really seem to be posing for you.
